galadhir: a blue octopus sits in a golden armchair reading a black backed novel (atrocities)

So I have not been on DW recently because I've been trying to write and podfic and practice my signwriting all at the same time and I had no energy left over. However, I do really feel like I'm back in the swing of writing (God willing) because here is another chapter of my Jin bros fic.

the same last name and the same colour eyes, Chapter three

In which Jin Guangyao attempts to lure Wei Wuxian over to the Jin side by the nefarious means of offering him a pardon and paying for the Wens to make it through the winter. Meanwhile, of course Jin Zixuan has eyes for nobody but Jiang Yanli.

Chapter Two of the same last name and the same colour eyes is up on Ao3 here

In which, following Jin Zixuan's unexpected expression of brotherly feelings, Jin Guangyao finds himself with a second person in the Jin family whom he wishes to please. This changes things.

Chapter Three is up here

In which Yanli teaches her husband to make dumplings, learns that he can dance, and gets delightfully drunk.

I hesitate to say that my writing block has broken, but I've written a thousand words a day for the past three days on this fic that asks "what if Jin Zixuan wasn't quite so self absorbed, and decided to try and be a good big brother? How would that change the events of the story?"

For some reason I am just charmed by the idea of Jin Zixuan and Jin Guangyao as the kind of brothers who actually care about each other. I've read some lovely Jin-bro fics, and I wanted to try it, as a way of feeling my way into the characters for myself.

Title is from Brotherly Love by Earl Thomas Conley

Part Two of the Peony to Lotus verse by Deriliarch. In part one, Flower of Another Kind Jin Guangyao is married off to Jiang Yanli as if to get him out of Koi Tower as fast as possible. Jiang Yanli decides to make the best of things.

Meanwhile, in this fic, Jiang Yanli and Jin Guangyao decide to begin courtship, slightly out of order. But exposing themselves to the possibility of being loved also means running headlong into all the ways they've been taught they are not worthy of it.

This whole series is a favourite of mine because I just want to see if the entire cultivation world could have been saved by someone being kind to JGY, and this is a lovely, warm, delighted and delightful look at that.

I was quite happy to podfic the whole series, but luckily there is already an excellent podfic of the first story Flower of Another Kind, narrated by Sisi_rambles so I decided to start with story number 2.

Woohoo! Chapter ten is up today. Only four more to go and it will be complete (and I'll actually be able to listen to this story from start to finish - the main reason why I started podficcing it in the first place.)

Chapter 10: A Rope That Wears Thin
Summary:

If the journey so far is any indication, memories will come unbidden, and he can do nothing but receive them at their whim.

In his weakest moments, Meng Yao wishes he didn’t remember a thing.

Wishes it could just be this: handsome, kind Lan Xichen and himself, traveling the land without horrors weighing on their hearts. Spending the days close and the nights closer.

Chapter 6

Meng Yao frowns, his brain clattering to a halt. “You think my arm is haunted?” 

CWs: non-descriptive medical procedures... and an exorcism! :)

Notes:

I must have been very tired when I recorded this one because I had to edit out a full quarter of it where I was audibly breathing, yawning or coughing. When I complained as much to the folks on Mastodon [personal profile] bluedreaming@fandom.ink sent me a meme saying "Get rid of the breaths! We can't let people know we breathe!" Which is now my new motto

Bane of my life this week - the word 'zither.'
